History

Byakko

The deity of sacred flame enshrined in the Fudougaku hall burns away all hundred varieties of delusion in a single instant. Here in the Hinishi district, this Fudouin temple guides the wicked thoughts of visitors toward the righteous path. When one stands within the space of flame samadhi, the confusion of the mind naturally clears. The strong gaze of Fudo Myoo vanquishes all evil in this world.
